Social Studies: This morning students had a chance to learn about the final holiday in our "Holidays Around the World" book - Diwali. Diwali is the "Festival of Lights" and students decorated and colored traditional diyas.
The Nutcracker: Our class had the opportunity to go watch Laurelwood's production of The Nutcracker. It featured 4th and 5th graders, including some of our buddies. We really enjoyed all of the acts!
Writer's Workshop: After returning from the performance of The Nutcracker, students had a chance to write an entry in their Sourcebooks about their favorite part. Many children chose the Mouse King, The Arabian Dancers, and the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies.
Art: We worked on a project that involved painting snowflakes. We will finish the project tomorrow to be brought home on Wednesday.
